美卓董事会决定继续实施对高级管理层的长期激励计划

美卓董事会决定继续实施2011年12月批准的集团高级管理层股份激励计划。该计划的目的是将股东和管理层的目标结合起来，以增加公司价值，将管理层托付给公司，并在长期持股美卓的基础上为管理者提供具有竞争力的奖励计划。2011年批准的计划包括三个执行期，相当于2012、2013和2014日历年。董事会负责制定业绩标准和目标，在业绩期开始时使用。该计划将在2013年业绩期间覆盖约100名美卓经理。2013年业绩期计划产生的潜在奖励将基于服务业务的净销售增长、美卓的税前已动用资本回报率(ROCE)和每股收益(EPS)。这笔款项将在2016年大约两年的授予期结束时支付，部分以公司股票，部分以现金形式支付。以现金支付的比例旨在支付参与人因付款而产生的税收和与税收有关的费用。如在付款到期前，因与参加者有关的原因而终止受雇或服务，将不会获发任何款项。每个业绩期的奖励不得超过参与者全年基本工资总额的120%。 The potential rewards to be paid on the basis of the 2013 performance period will correspond to a maximum total of approximately 460,000 Metso shares. Final allocations and the maximum total number of shares will be decided in January 2013. The Metso shares to be transferred as part of possible rewards will be obtained in public trading and, as a result, the incentive plan will not have a diluting effect on Metso's share value. Metso is a global supplier of technology and services to customers in the process industries, including mining, construction, pulp and paper, power, and oil and gas.
